"Mexico" won a spot on the 2011 release, "God's Of Indie Guitar" which aimed to feature the best guitar works from around the globe. "Parrish's command of the guitar could easily steal the show if her voice were not equally as magnetic" (Channel ABC). "Truly a gem" (Derrick Murdock, Jay Leno Show). "Parrish is one of a dying breed of true musicians who can encompass traits of several genres in one composition without kowtowing to the conventions of any one" (Music Emissions). "...a voice that makes you want to listen and a guitar that speaks to you" (Skope Magazine). "Musically astute, interesting, original & adventurous" (KIAC Radio) Parrish's recent endorsement with Breedlove Guitars confirmed this woman as a true axe-slinger and gifted singer songwriter.
